Instead, I want to share some experiences I have made with the store and give some references if you consider picking it up or already using it in a project.
In the first and second part of this small series, we have discussed implementations that have flaws and can introduce side-effects to our data flow. We have learned how combining our streams and modeling our our data flow to yield a single result helped with solving the introduced problems.
This is the second part of a small series, in which I want to share some pitfalls we discovered multiple times in code reviews over the years, as well a few patterns we identified as helpful. In the first part we discussed how nesting subscriptions can be harmful.
